#rewetting

With so much awful going on it’s becoming more and more important to be out there doing good, and this Bath woodland & wetland will be the best thing my charity has ever done.

Here’s a video showing the plan: https://youtu.be/2raJT5RM6mE

We’re nearly at £9,000 but this crowdfunder has started to lose steam after a lack of interest in the local press. With record rainfall and flooding across the U.K. there’s no better time than now for wetland and wet woodland creation.

Please donate whatever you can spare, and possibly even more importantly please share with a few words about why this #reforestation #rewilding & #rewetting is improtant to you. #Bath #Bristol

#Ireland: Almost 20% of #farmers would look at #rewetting their farms for payments. #Sheep farmers are the most open, #dairy ones less: https://www.farmersjournal.ie/almost-20-of-farmers-would-look-at-rewetting-their-farms-821002 >> A good start: Adopting sth. new always starts slow/low. #Subsidies can help transition to more #sustainable landuse.

#Ireland: To achieve net zero GHG #emissions, high rates of #afforestation, soil #rewetting, and #cattle destocking are needed. Technical #abatement cannot substitute these actions. #NetZero requires transforming the land sector: https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01275-0 #agriculture #landuse

There are some huge wetland and nature recovery projects coming down the pike and one of them is even on an ex-golf course!

I read this article on Peat bog restoration last night.

I thought it was really interesting that there're more challenges to their restoration than just damning up the burns that drain the bog.

There's some lovely photography of the bog plants in there too.
